SUB.XCT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-445/92-56; 50-44G/92-56 (NOTICE OF

VIOLATION)

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. L. T. Ricketson of this office

on November 9-13, 1992. The inspection included a review of activities

authorized for your Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2. At

the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. The

inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and

representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). We are concerned about this violation, discussed in

paragraph 2.5, because there appears te be a continuing lack of good

communication both within the radiation protection department and between the ,

radiation protection department and radiation workers. Additional examples of-

communication problems are discussed in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.4 of the enclosed

report. in your response to the violation, you should respond to these

concerns.

In acco-dance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No. 96.511. I
